Mobility: A
This is not one of the more essential parts of a pro quarterback but it’s certainly a luxury that every team hopes to have. Watching what Aaron Rodgers can do buying time and picking up first downs with his legs proves that much. Same goes for Russell Wilson. Defenses just have to work harder when they’re dealing with a mobile quarterback. It can have really detrimental effects on their energy as games grow later.
There is no question that Deshaun Watson is an athlete. He’s got quickness, agility and considerable speed to spare. His knack for running was a huge part of the offensive success at Clemson. All told he ran for 1, 929 yards and 26 touchdowns for the Tigers. That’s outstanding production for some running backs, let alone a quarterback. A creative offensive coordinator will find plenty of ways to use that.
